Jolly December 31st!

Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the faux
So I'm singing
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does

You're a fucking nutter you are

I've been so caught up in my series of Great Songs Of The 00s that I've completely neglected my favorite feature on this blog: Theme Mixes. Not sure why I haven't gotten off my arse and done one of these in three whole months.

I must've been crazy.

See what I did there?

Great songs of the 00s (Part 60)

Y'all need to check out the track by James Kirk. He released a fucking brilliant album in 2003 that no one cared about. It's not too late to right your wrong, get the album.

I'd also recommend Daniel Johnston's Devinare. It's good for drinking games, have a shot every time he steals a line from someone else's song.

Tall wheel keep on turnin'/Kristian Matsson keep on burnin'

Two years ago I described The Tallest Man On Earth as "if Bob Dylan was young today and could actually play guitar, this is probably what he'd sound like".

I think that's still valid.

(mp3) The Tallest Man On Earth - Like the wheel
(mp3) The Tallest Man On Earth - Like the wheel (live)
(mp3) The Tallest Man On Earth - Like the wheel (live again)
(mp3) The Tallest Man On Earth - Like the wheel (piano version)
